Hello Calvin,
Thank you for sharing what’s on your heart. Stress is something we all wrestle with, especially when we’re facing an uncertain or busy week ahead. But praise God, His Word offers peace, renewal, and strength for every anxious moment. Let’s take a moment to reflect on God’s promises, and how you can walk into this week with confidence and peace.

Stress often stems from the pressure to perform, please, and persevere in our own strength. But God never intended for you to carry your burdens alone. He lovingly invites you to cast your cares on Him and rest in His faithfulness. Trust that He’s already in the week ahead, making a way even when you can’t yet see the steps.
